Chad was charged with felony home invasion, aggravated kidnapping, and unlawful restraint.

His bail was set at a million dollars.

Overnight, Danielle had to reckon with the fact that her husband of nearly two decades and the father of her children was capable of a violent crime.

In addition to processing that shock, she didn't understand why.

I didn't know that we were having financial trouble.

To answer that question, Danielle started looking through Chad's basement office.

There, she made a series of shocking discoveries.

First, why he targeted the people he did.

His fake financial business.

She also found out that he was never actually a certified financial advisor or planner.
